When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook

Taking care of the creek today during low water conditions, just pulled 2 Kroger carts out of the creek at Main Street by Pumphouse Park.

Since Gahanna switched to a company that uses an automatic waste collection system, there have been several complaints about garbage in the streets. The problem is that trash falls out of the bin as it moves and trash falls out. I’d be interested in knowing if there’s been an increase in pollution as a result.
The density of creek-carts is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the nearest grocery 🤓
Thank you!
Thank you!!

Same time as school board. Perhaps they can include some native plant landscaping in their development plans.

I wish they’d keep it all as green space and turn it into a park
Africa road connects to Polaris, what am I missing?

Girl Scout Troop #6413 did a great job on August 10, 2024 in their cleanup of Alum Creek at Jeffrey Park. Nine volunteers worked 3 hours hauling 9 bags of trash, 2 tires, and 1 shopping cart out of the creek.
Wow, impressive. Thanks for your hard work. It’s a mess down there in places. Well done girls 👍🏻
Commitment and dedication paid off tremendously ! Trash and Tires are a big challenge to get out of streams way to go Troop # 6413!
You all are the best!
Thank you Troop 6413!
Thank you!
